NEW YORK CITY - Virginia Grubb Sterritt, 60, formerly of Leominster, died last week at her home in lower Manhattan.

Born in Leominster, Ginnie moved to Boston to attend Boston University where she earned a bachelor's degree and a masters of education.

She was a senior paralegal with the New York firm Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy.

An actor, writer, director and producer, Ginnie was a key student of the famous HB Studio and a principal member of the theater group, Love Creek. Following the events of Sept. 11, 2001, Ginnie became active in the parish of Trinity/St. Paul's in lower Manhattan, committed to healing the wounds left on her community that day.

She is survived by her twin sons, Craig and Jeremy Sterritt; their father, David Sterritt (they were divorced in 2002); her daughter-in-law, Tanya Van Sant; her mother, Loretta Grubb; her four brothers, Robert, Lawrence, Paul, and Russell; their families; and the innumerable friends she made throughout her rich professional, artistic and spiritual life. All will miss her compassionate heart, her sincerity and above all, her love of fun.

The Silas F. Richardson & Son Funeral Home is directing arrangements.
